It did bug me how he was making the low percussion sounds. Almost a bass drum feel. I was so afraid he was cheating…

Nope. On his [THE MIDDLE (Minor Key Version)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT8R29H1uOo), he slows and adds depth to “That theme from a Target ad”.

You can see him stomping on a piece of wood at 1:11 (closeup at 2:48). Sure, he’s not making the sound with his mouth, but I saw the legendary John Hartford playing three instruments at once and [dancing on a piece of plywood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BI1N08FEo0) to add percussion.
